I'm using DOSbox 0.63 for Windows and I'm trying to get a network game started in the Doom shareware version. But whenever I type anything into the DOSbox prompt about IPXNET (Such as IPXNET STARTSERVER <[insert port number here]> It says IPXNET is an Illegal Command. This happens consitantly. It's hard to have an old-school LAN party when IPX doesn't work. Is there something I'm doing wrong? If you need to know anymore about the issue, let me know.

Did you set ipx=true in DOSBOX.CONF ?!?

You don't add the line.. you modify the existing one. It's at the bottom.

probably you have a ipx=true line, and then later on an ipx=false at the bottom.

So its like you turned it on and then turned it off again within the config file.
